Singer/songwriter Empara Mi shared new music video for ‘Shine On You’

Empara Mi has released a stunning video for her single ‘Shine On You’. It finds Empara Mi commanding with her jaw-dropping vocals, as she sings about moving on alongside a bold orchestral string section. Regarding the song, Empara Mi says, “Sometimes the most beautiful things are the hardest to keep hold of and sometimes you have to let go of something so it can stay beautiful. That was the sentiment behind this song, appreciating something whilst you had it and accepting that just because you want something doesn’t mean it should be yours. It’s about selflessness and letting go.”

Empara Mi has made a grand statement in 2019. The avant-garde artist has released a string of singles including ‘Ditch,’ ‘Blood In The Water’ and ‘Crying,’ which capture her dramatic and uncompromising vision for magnificent post-pop and R&B. Since emerging in 2016 with her acclaimed debut single ‘Wanderlust’, Empara Mi has gone on to clock up millions of streams on Spotify alone, while she has also collaborated with Kojey Radical on her track ‘Spoon’ Empara Mi is a truly singular artist and she has been hailed as one of the most exciting artists on the scene today.

He did a great job and we’re already planning our next videos with him.“

Don Broco shares new music video ‘Action’

Don Broco have revealed the video for their brand new single ‘Action’, ahead of their first-ever headlining tour of North America. ‘Action’ is the perfect representation of everything that Don Broco are about – powerful tunes and inextinguishable good vibes. It’s crammed full of big riffs and even bigger hooks, laced with their signature British swagger spilling out of every note. Not only that, but there are guest vocal spots from their friends Tilian Pearson (Dance Gavin Dance), Caleb Shomo (Beartooth), Tyler Carter (Issues) and Taka Moriuchi (ONE OK ROCK), all of whom contribute weight to the already formidable mass of the track. The stop-motion video features Don Broco’s lead singer Rob Damiani, and the co-vocalists on the track, depicted as action men heroes. A fantastically surreal narrative unfolds, with the characters becoming the center of a frenzied reign of toy-based-terror featuring blood, explosions, and the ever-entertaining reappearance of the cowboy. “We’re all gonna die at some point so get the fuck up and do something with your day/week/life,” says Rob. “That’s what ‘Action’ is about and it’s been rad linking up with a load of our mates on it. There’s not nearly enough collabs going on right now in rock music so we’re bringing back the vibes with help from the absolute dudes Taka, Caleb, Tyler and Tilian.” ‘Action’ comes as the band finish a run of Asian shows in South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines, and ahead of their first-ever North American headline tour which features 24 dates and includes sold-out shows in legendary venues such as New York’s Gramercy Theatre, LA’s Troubador and The Fillmore in Philadelphia. Earlier in the year, the band headed out on an extensive European run, including a number of UK arena shows which saw them sell out two dates in Manchester and play to a packed-out Wembley Arena. This summer, Don Broco returned to the UK for a number of festival appearances and played at Community Festival, Kendal Calling, Y Not Festival and Truck Festival, garnering nothing but praise for their relentless high-octane performances. ‘Action’ is the second single from Don Broco in 2019 and follows their earlier smash ‘Half Man Half God’ – both of which are brand new tracks, following their critically acclaimed Top 5 album Technology last year.
